Authorities reported that numerous aerial vehicles and over thirty projectiles attacked energy facilities, labeling such strikes as "cynical and calculated" and against "everything that sustains normal life" as the weather cools.
The energy minister said Moscow was "inflicting a massive strike" and repair crews were striving to fix the damage.
A barrage of missiles struck electrical systems and residential structures in Kyiv.
